Our Journey
azakaw was born from a singular vision: to transform compliance from a regulatory burden into a strategic advantage.
It all began with j. awan & partners, a trusted global GRC firm with more than a decade of experience in financial and regulatory consulting. With its team that has combined experience of thousands of years, we saw an opportunity to innovate to help businesses navigate the complexities of compliance.
We realized that the future of compliance wasn’t just about expertise, it was about automation, efficiency, and adaptability.
That’s how azakaw was born, an AI-powered platform that combines the knowledge of seasoned compliance and AML professionals with cutting-edge technology. Designed for the demands of startups and global enterprises alike, azakaw empowers businesses to stay ahead of their regulatory needs while unlocking growth.
From onboarding to transaction monitoring, we have reimagined compliance so businesses can focus on what they do best - innovating, scaling, and thriving.
Today, we are proud to be the trusted compliance partner for organisations across the globe and across financial services industry, as well as non-financial services businesses.

Why we exist
Compliance isn’t glamorous, but it’s essential.
It’s the backbone of trust, security, and growth in any industry. Yet for too long, compliance has been complicated, time-consuming, and expensive. We believe it doesn’t have to be that way.
What we stand for
01
We believe in turning complexity into simplicity.
02
We believe technology should work for people, not the other way around.
03
We believe compliance shouldn’t slow you down, it should propel you forward.
What drives us?

Every line of code, every feature, and every innovation is driven by our commitment to make compliance simple, seamless, and scalable. We’re here to shoulder the burden, so you can focus on what matters most: your business, your growth, your vision.
Our promise
We promise to keep innovating. To keep simplifying. To stay ahead of regulatory changes, so you don’t have to worry about them. To build tools that empower, protect, and inspire confidence. Because we know that when compliance is done right, it becomes your competitive advantage.
Our vision
To be the world’s most trusted and innovative compliance platform, empowering businesses to turn compliance into a competitive advantage.
